These threads wouldn't go like this if the buyer of the arranger were a bit more honest and simply said that they were buying something just to try it out.

"Cannot wait to add this awesome board into my act, or wherever" is completely misleading. 'Cannot wait to hear this for the first time and decide if I like it' would have been a lot closer to the truth.

And, let's face it... if he hated the G70, who on earth expects to like a considerably lesser model with most of the same sounds, styles, and OS in it? A crazy optimist is all I can think of!

Wasn't the VA7 somewhere around the price of a PA800 (or more) when it came out, too? Zuki payed about a grand for the E60, and expects it to better a @$3k arranger. Just not going to happen... You get what you pay for

Short attention span theater... Tune in next week for another brief tryout...!

Could you post something when you get a chance?
It is just unbelievable to me that anyone could like the PA800 sound more than that of Ketron or Roland. I'm not saying it's not good, I just haven't heard one sound good.
On the other hand, the little E50 blows me away, sound-wise.
Thanks,
DonM


I have some demos of the PA800 on my web site
Steveonpiano.com. Click on the demo link all except
Over The Rainbow were done on the 800.

However misguided the decision may have been, I still feel what must have been Zuki's disappointment.

Not so fast, Mr Warmth, Jr.

I happen to like the VA. Roland corporate told me the E60 was the replacement. Speakers, 76 keys, 10 year newer model - was expecting more, simple as that.

But I'm not done - give me another hour or so

Thanks Hitman

Stick around long enough - you'll get abused too

Oh don't worry Zuki, I've seen worse than this gang...LOL

It is sad to see how people get emotional about a bunch of plastic and metal, or the company who doesn't care about anything except their money.
